The Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race is an annual long-distance sled dog race run in early March in Alaska. Mushers and a team of 16 dogs cover the distance in 9–15 days or more. The Iditarod began in 1973 as an event to test the best sled dog mushers and teams, but evolved into today's highly competitive race. The current fastest winning
time record was set in 2011 by John Baker with a time of 8 days, 19 hours, 46
minutes, and 39 seconds. As of 2012, Dallas Seavey is the youngest musher to win the
race.
